Team spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals are aware of the incident. However, as with most situations of this nature, it would be inappropriate for the team to comment until the matter is resolved through normal legal channels.

The latest incident comes two weeks before Jones is scheduled to stand trial after he was arrested and accused of hitting a 34-year-old woman at a downtown nightclub in June. Jones is scheduled for an Oct. 7 trial for that incident.

This is the fourth time since October 2010 that Jones has been involved in an off-field incident in Cincinnati. He has at least seven other arrests and a dozen run-ins with police since entering the league as a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2005.

As for his time in Cincinnati, his first brush with the law followed a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 10, 2010. Jones was handcuffed and detained near Great American Ball Park after being involved in a traffic incident in which he drove his vehicle onto a crowded sidewalk. Cincinnati Police later apologized to him, saying Jones had done nothing wrong and that it was a communication breakdown between officers.

Six months later, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was placed on one year of probation, paid a $250 fine and court costs and did 50 hours of community service. The resisting arrest charge was dropped after Jones apologized to police.

He was suspended for the 2007 season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for repeated violations of the personal conduct policy. He played one season with the Dallas Cowboys, sat out the 2009 season and signed with the Bengals in May of 2010.

During the offseason, Jones signed a three-year deal with the Bengals worth $5.35 million with $1 million guaranteed. He played 80 of 81 defensive snaps in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Green Bay Packers and had four tackles.

Should Jones be found guilty in either case, he could be subject to suspension under the league's personal conduct policy as a repeat offender.
